So today I saw my PCP and she gave me my clearance for my surgery. I also got my pre-op lab work done today. Tomorrow starts my 2 week pre-op diet of Optifast. I am so excited! Exactly 14 days till surgery! May 3rd can't come soon enough. Is anyone else early May and want to be buddies?

I'm having my surgery on May 2 I would love to be buddies with you I have some family members the same way but I don't worry about that I'm taking care of me

My doctored ordered that I use Slim Time but they taste awful.

They sound awful. One E away from "Slime Time."

But I hope your diet is going well. It won't be forever so hang in there!

I'm 27 years old, no kids and I have only told a select few that I am having the surgery. I also didn't want the negativity. My dad seems to have come around now though. He isn't even concerned about the actual surgery anymore he is just worried that I won't be happy after because I won't have the same eating habits as them. Which I am completely okay with. Those habits got me to 300 lbs and as far as I'm concerned this is my new life which means making new and better healthy habits. I am so ready for my sleeve to help me do what I have tried to do for years.

My shakes are tolerable as well but only if they are super cold. I am only allowed to use water so to make it a little better I have added ice and blended it. If anyone wants to be buddies I have a hangouts or kik. Let me know and I'll let you know how to find me on there! I'm not sure how to do anything else on this app lol

Hi, my surgery is May 1 and my mom is having the same worries as your dad. It makes me feel better to know her reaction isn't just hers! All I've been thinking is I've been living with this decision for longer than she has, so eventually she'll get more comfortable with the limitations the surgery brings ... and see all the ways it will allow me to be happier because I'll have more energy, etc!

I'm glad my post helped you! I think it is difficult for people to comprehend not being to eat whatever we want. But for us the benefits are what's really important. If you want private message me and we can keep in touch! I hope your surgery goes great!!!
